March 22. 

Stamp distributors chosen for the colonies. 

After November first, every piece of vellum, 
every piece of paper, on whi(?h is written any 
legal document for use in any court is to be 
charged stamp duty of from three pence to ten 
pounds sterling. Every license, bond, deed, 
warrant, bill of lading, indenture, pamphlet, 
almanac, pack of cards, must be written on 
stamped paper to be made in England and sold 
at prices fixed by law. If any dispute arises 
under the law the case may be tried in the vice- 
admiralty courts without a jury. The ques- 
tion is not, Shall America Suppo^'t an Army? 
but. Shall Parliament tax America?

setts, New York, Ehode Island, Pennsylvania, 
Delaware and Maryland, meet in N"ew York 
the 5th of October and sign a "Declaration of 
Eights and Grievances." 

Declaration of Eights. 

The ground taken in the declaration was : 

1. That the Americans were subjects of the 

British crown. 

2. That it was the natural right of a British 

subject to pay no taxes unless he had a 
voice in laying them. 

3. That the Americans were not represented in 

Parliament. 

4. That Parliament, therefore, could not tax 

them, and that an attempt to do so was 
an attack on the rights of Englishmen 
and the liberty of self-government. 

Grievances. 

1765 The grievances complained of were: 

1. Taxation without representation. 

2. Trial without jury (in the vice-admiralty 

courts). 

3. The Sugar Act. 

4. The Stamp Act.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE — 1776 



111 Congress, July 4, 1776. 

The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of 
America. 



"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary 
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con- 
nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of 
the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of 
nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the 
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cau- 
ses which impel them to the separation. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are 
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with 
certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, 
and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, gov- 
ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just pow- 
ers from the consent of the governed ; that, whenever any fonn 
of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right 
of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new gov- 
ernment, lapng its foundation on such principles, and organizing 
its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to 
effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dic- 
tate that governments long established should not be changed 
for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience 
hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, whHe 
evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the 
forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train 
01 abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same ob- 
ject, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, 
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, 
and to provide new guards for their future security. — Such has 
been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now 
the necessity which constrains them to alter their former svs- 
tons of governinent. The history of the present king of Great 
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usui-pations, all 
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyran- 
ny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to 
a candid world. 

He has refused to assent to laws the most wholesome and 
necessary for the public good. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 27 

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate 
and pressing- importance, unless suspended in their operation till 
his assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has 
utterly neslected to attend to them. 

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation 
of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish 
the rieht of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable 
to them and formidable to tyrants only. 

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, 
uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public 
records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance 
with his measures. 

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for op- 
posing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the 
people. 

He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to 
cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, in- 
capable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large 
for their exercise: the State remaining, in the meantime, ex- 
posed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and con- 
vulsions within. 

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these 
States ; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization 
of foreigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage their migra- 
tion hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of 
lands. 

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing 
his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.. 

He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the 
tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their 
salaries. 

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither 
swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub- 

He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies, 
without the consent of our legislature. 

He has affected to render the military independent of, and 
superior to the civil power. 

He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdic- 
tion foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged^ by our 
laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: 
For quai-tering large bodies of armed troops among us: 
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for 
any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of 
these States: 

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: 
For imposing taxes on us without our consent: 
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by 
jury: 




WASHINGTON CROSSING THE; DEI^AWARE. 



ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 29 

For transporting us beyond the seas to be tried for pre- 
tended offenses: 

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigfh- 
boring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government 
and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ex- 
ample and tit instrument for introducing the same absolute iiilo 
into these colonies: 

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valu- 
alie laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our govern 
ments : 

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring them- 
selves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases what- 
soever. 

He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of 
his protection, and waging war against us. 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our 
towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. 

He is at this time, transporting large armies of foreign 
mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and 
tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and per- 
fidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages ,and total- 
ly unworthy the head of a civilized nation. 

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on 
the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the 
executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall them- 
selves by their hands. 

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has 
endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the 
merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an 
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for 
redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have 
been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose 
chai^cter is thus marked by every act which may define a ty- 
rant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British 
brethren. We warned them, from time, to time, of attempts by 
their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over 
us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emi- 
gration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native 
justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the 
ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, 
M'hich would inevitably inteniipt our connections and corres- 
pondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and 
consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the neces- 
sity Avhich denounces our separation, and hold them, as we 
hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war in peace friends. 

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of 
America, in general Congress assembled, appealing to the Su- 
preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions.

BUNKER HILL MONUMENT. 

On the 17th of June, 1775, was fought the ever-memora-

After the first shedding of blood in that war, at Lexing- 
ton and Concord, on the 19th of April, 1775, the people in. 
every direction, to the number of fifteen thousand men, flew 
to arms 

On the evening of the 16th of June, Col. Prescott, with 
about' one tliousand militia, took possession of what is called 
''Bunker Hill,"' in Charlestown — where they drew up a re- 
doubt. The next morning they were discovered and attacked 
by the forces of the British (numbering four thousand regu- 
lars), a batteiy at Copp's Hill at the north end of Boston, and 
hv seven vessels-of-war Iving in different directions from the 
hill. 

The loss of the British in killed and wounded by the ac- 
count of Gen. Gage, was 1,054; 70 commissioned officers were 
wounded and 13 killed. The whole loss of the Americans was 
145 killed and missing, and 304 wounded. While the battle 
was raging the town of Charlestown was set on fire by order 
of General Gage. 

This monument, which was completed in 1842, is of hewn 
granite, two hundred and twenty-one feet high, and is as- 
cended by a circular stairway of two hundred and ninety-five 
steps.

According to General Bragg's official report the garrison of 
Fort Fisher (including reenforcements from the adjacent forts) 
numbered 1800, and the movable force under General Hoke, 
including reserves and cavalry, was about 6000. In regard to 
the losses, the same authority says : ''After the enemy entered 
the fort our loss is represented to have been about 500 killed 
and wounded. The garrison consisted of about 110 commis- 
sioned officers and 2400 or 2500 men." The strength thus

General Lee's Farewell Address to His Army. 

(From the Century War Book.) 

By Charies Marshall, CoOoneil, C. S. A. 

General Lee's order to the Army of Northern Virginia at 
Appomattox Court House was written the day after the meet- 
ing at McLean's house, at which the terms of the surrender 
were agreed upon. That night the general sat with several of 
us at a fire in front of his tent, and after some conversation 
about the army, and the events of the day, in which his feel- 



134 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

ings toward his men were strongly expresssed, he told me to 
prepare an order to the troops. 

The next day it was raining and many persons were coming 
and going, so that I was unable to write without inteiTuption 
until about 10 o'clock, when General Lee, finding that the order 
had not been prepared, directed me to get into his ambulance, 
which stood near his tent, and placed an orderly to prevent 
any one from approaching me. 

I sat in the ambulance until I had written the order, the 
first draft of which (in pencil) contained an entire paragraph 
that was omitted by General Lee's direction. He made one 
or two verbal changes, and then I made a copy of the order 
avS corrected, and gave it to one of the clerks in the adjutant- 
general s office to write in ink . I took the copy, when made by 
the clerk, to the general, who signed it, and other copies were 
then made for transmission to the corps commanders and the 
staff of the army. All these copies were signed by the general, 
and a good many persons sent other copies which they had 
made or procured, and obtained his signature. In this way 
many copies of the order had the general's name signed as if 
they were originals, some of which I have seen. The text of 
the order as issued was as follows: 

"Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, April 10th, 1865. 
After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed 
courage and fortitude, the Anny of Northern Virginia has been 
compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. 
I need not tell the sui-\ivors of so many hard-fought battles, 
who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented 
to this result from no distrust in them, but, feeling that valor 
and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate 
for the loss that would have attended the continuation of the 
contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those 
whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. 

"By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return 
to their homes, and remain there until exchanged. You will 
take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the con- 
sciousness of duty faithfully perfomied; and I earnestly pray 
that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and pro- 
tection. 

"With an increasing admiration of your constancy and devo- 
tion to yx)ur eountiy, and a grateful remembrance of your kind 
and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate 
farewell.

(Composed of Barton's and Crutchfield's brigades, with Tuckers 
naval battalion attached.) 

The following battalions of artillery, borne on Lee's return 
for January 31st, 1865 are not enumerated in the parole list of 
April 9th, from which this roster of troops and commanders i3 
mainly complied, viz: Cabell's of the First Corps, Nelson's of 
the Second Corps, Lane and Eshleman's of the Third Corps, 
and Sturdivant's of Anderson's Corps. There were also some 
forces from the defenses of Richmond, known as Ewell's Reserve 
Corps, commanded by Lieut. Col. Thomas J. Spencer, which are 
not embrace^ in the foregoing list. 

The loss of Lee's armyin killed and wounded is not known. 
The number paroled at Appomattox was, of infantry, 22,349; 
cavalry, 1559; artillery, 2576; and general headquarters and 
miscellaneous troops, 1747, total, 28,231. In his ofRcial report 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 151 

of April 12th, 1865, General Lee says: "On the morning of the 
9th, according to the reports of the ordnance officers, there 
were 7892 organized infantry with arms * * * The artillery 
(was) reduced to 63 pieces * * * j have no accurate re- 
port of the cavalry, but believe it did not exceed 2100 effective 
men." 

Upon this subject General Grant ("Personal Memoirs,", Vol. 
II., p. 500) remarks: ''When Lee finally surrendered * * * 
there wer'e only 28,356 officers and men left to be paroled, and 
many of these were without arms. It was probably this latter 
fact which gave rise to the statement sometimes made, North 
and South, that Lee surrendered a smaller number of men than 
what the official figures show. As a matter of official record, 
and in addition to the number paroled as given above, we cap- 
tured between March 29th and the date of surrender 19,132 
Confederates to say nothing of Lee's other losses, killed, 
wounded, and missing, during the series of desperate conflicts 
which marked his headlong and determined flight."' In regard 
to the statement that, of the troops sun-endered, only about 
8000 had arms. General Humphreys says: "If, indeed, that is 
correct, then the greater part of those men who had no arms 
must have thrown them away when they found that they must 
surrender. This was not difficult to do unobserved by their 
officers. The country was thickly wooded and open to them on 
the west and northwest. A walk of half an hour would bring 
them to ground that neither their officers nor ours would pass 
over during their brief stay in the vicinity." 

At the end of Februarj', IBGo, (according to the inspection 
reports), the Army of Northern Virginia 'had 3005 officers and 
43,052 men of infantry and cavalry "present effective for the 
field." The artillery^ at this time probably numbered 5000, 
Custis Lee's division in the defences of Richmond 3000, and 
Rosser's cavalry (which joined in March) 2000. After making 
due allowance for losses at Fort Stedman and along the lines 
up to March 28th, the effective strength of Lee's army at the 
beginning of the campaion is estimated as follows: cavalrv 
5000; artillery, 5000; infantrj^, 44,000, total 54,000. This does 
not include local troops and naval forces, of which no data are 
obtainable. 

1865. NOTES ON THE UNION AND CONFEDERATE 
ARMIES. 

In a statistical exhibit of deaths in the Union Army, com- 
piled (1885), under the direction of Adjutant-General Drum, 
by Jos. W. Kirkley, the causes of death are given as follow><: 
Killed in action, 4142 officers, 6'2.916 men; died of wounds 
received in action. 2223 officers, 40,789 men, of which number 
99 officers and 1973 men were prisoners of war: died of disease, 
2795 officers and 221,791 men, of which 83 officers and 24,783 
men were prisoners; accidental deaths (except drowned) 142 



152 ONE THOUSAND NOTABi^E EVENTS 

officers and 3972 men, of which 2 officers and 5 men were pris* 
oners: drowned, 106 officers and 4838 men, of which 1 officer 
and six men were prisoners; murdered 37 officers and 483 menj 
killed after capture, 14 officers and 90 men; committed suicide, 
26 officers and 365 men; executed by United States military 
authorities, 267 men; executed by the enemy, 4 officers and 60 
men ; died from sunstroke, 5 officers and 308 men, of which" 20 
men were prisoners; other known causes 62 officers and 1972 
men, of which 7 officers and 312 men were prisoners; causes not 
stated 28 officers and 12,093 men, of which 9 officers and 2030 
men were prisoners. Total, 9584 officers and 349,944 men, of 
which 219 officers and 29,279 men w^ere prisoners. Grand ag- 
gregate, 359,528; aggregate deaths among prisoners, 29,498. 
Since 1885 the Adjutant-General has received evidence of the 
death in Southern prisons of 694 men not previously accounted 
for, which increases the number of deaths among prisoners to 
30,192, and makes a grand aggregate of 360,222. 

NOTES TO THE ADJOINING TABLE. 

Figures in the column of deaths, opposite names of States 
represents only such as occurred among white troops (losses 
amomg colored troops and Indians being given at the foot of 
the table). The table does not indicate losses among sailors 
and marines. 

The colored soldiers organized under the authority of the 
General Government and not credited to any State were re- 
cruited as follows: In Alabama, 4969; Arkansas, 5526; Col- 
orado, 95; Florida, 1044; Georgia, 3486; Louisana, 24,052; Mis- 
sissippi, 17,869; North Carolina, 5035; South Carolina, 5462; 
Tennessee, 20,133; Texas, 47; Virginia, 5723. 

There were also 5896 negro soldiers enlisted at large, or whose 
credits are not specifically expressed by the records. 

The number of officers and men of the Regular Amiy among 
whom the casualties herein noted occurred is estimated at 
67,000; the number in the Veteran Reserve Corps was 60,508; 
and in Hancock's Veteran Corps 10,883. 

The other organizations of white volunteeers, organized di- 
rectly by the U. S. authorities numbered about 11,000. 

In 82 national cemeteries (according to the reports of June 
30th, 1888) 325,230 men are buried; 176,397 being known, and 
148,833 unknown dead. These numbers include 1136 at Mexico 
City, most of whom lost their lives in the Mexican war; about 
9500 Confederates; and about 8500 ci\nlians.

Very few, if any, of the local land forces, and none of the 
naval, are included in the tabular exhibit. If we take the 
472,000 men in service at the beginning of 1864, and add there- 
to at least 250,000 deaths occurring prior to that date, it gives 
over 700,000. The discharges for disability and other causes 
and the desertions would probably inci-ease the number (in- 
clusive of the militia and naval forces) to over 1,000,000. 

Northern writers have assumed that the Confederate losses 
equaled the Union losses; no data exists for a reasonably ac- 
curate estimate.

DOCTRINES AND CREEDS OF DENOMI- 
NATIONS AND SECTS IN THE 
UNITED STATES. 

THE JEWS. 

The first settlement of tlie Jews in the United States 
was at J'.'ewport, U. I. A synagogue was erected in 
1763. A settlement was made in New York City in 
1729; in Savannah, Ga., in 1733; in Charleston, S. C, 
m 1765; in Philadelphia, in 1782; m Baltimore, in 
1823; in New Orleans, in 1823. Each congregation 
makes its own rules and elects its own minjster. 

The platform adopted at the national Kabbinical 
Convention of the Keformed Hebrew Church, held at 
Pittsburg, Penn., November 17 and 18, 1885: 

'•We hold that Judaism presents the highest con- 
ception of the God idea as taught in oar Holy Scrip- 
tures and developed and spiritualized l)y Jewish teach- 
ers. We maintain that Judaism preserved and de- 
fended amid continual struggles and trials this God 
idea as the central religious truth for the human race. 

"We recognize in the Bible the record of the consecra- 
tion of the Jewish people to its mission as priest of the 
one God, and value it as the most potent instrument of 
religious and moral instruction. We hold tliat the 
modern discoveries of scientific researches in the do- 



180 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

mains of nature and history are not antagonistic to the 
doctrines of Judaism, the Bible reflecting the primitive 
ideas of its own age, and at times clothing its conception 
of divine providence and justice dealing with man in 
miraculous narratives. 

"We recognize in the Mosaic legislation a system of 
training the Jewish people for its mission during its nat- 
ural life in Palestine, and today we accept as binding 
only the moral laws, and maintain only such ceremon.es 
as elevate and sanctify our lives, but reject all such as 
are not adapted to the views and habits of modern civili- 
zation. 

"We hold that all such Mosaic and Eabbinical laws as 
regulate diet, priestly purity, and dress originated in 
ages and under the influence of ideas altogether foreign 
to our present mental and spiritual state^ They fail to 
impress the modern Jew with a spirit of priestly holi- 
ness; their observance in our days is apt rather to ob- 
struct than to further modern spiritual elevation. 

"We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a re- 
ligious community, and therefore expect neither a re- 
turn to Palestine nor a sacrificial worship under the sons 
of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concern- 
ing the Jewish State. 

"Christianity and Islam being daughter religions of 
Judaism, we appreciate their providential mission to and 
in the spreading of monotheistic and moral truth. We 
acknowledge that the spirit of broad humanity of our 
age is our ally and the fulfilment of our mission, and 
therefore we extend the hand of fellowship to all who 
operate with us in the establishment of the reign of 
truth and righteousness among men. 

"We reassert the doctrines of Judaism that the soul of 
man is immortal. We reject, as ideas not rooted in 
Judaism, the beliefs both in bodily resurrection and in 
gehenna and Eden (hell and Paradise) as abodes for 
everlasting punishm.cnt or reward." 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 181 

EOMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. 

In 1521, Vasquez de Ayllon commenced a settlement 
on a river flowing into Chesapeake Bay, and buiii the 
first Catholic church on American soil. The com- 
mander soon died and the settlement abandoned. 

In 1595 the Spaniards founded Santa Fe.New Mexico. 
The Catholic worship was established, and has contin- 
ued to the present time. In 1565 a chapel was erected 
in St. Augustine, Florida. In 1571 there were Catholic 
chapels at St. Helena, on Port Eojal Sound and on the 
banks of the Rappahanock River. Catholic worship 
was celebrated beneath temporary structures at Boone 
Island and Mount Desert in Maine, early in the seven- 
teenth century. 

November 6, 1789, Dr. Carroll appointed Bishop of 
Baltimore, and his diocese embraced the whole of the 
United States. 

The Doctrinal Code of the Church. 

The formulary of faith is the creed of Pius IV., issued 
after the Council of Trent, with some additions after 
that of the Vatican. If is as follows: 

"I, A. B., with a firm faith believe and profess all and 
every one of those things which are contained in that 
creed, which the holy Roman Church maketh use of.^' 

Then follows the Nicene creed : 

"I most steadfastly admit and embrace apostolical and 
ecclesiastical traditions, and all other observances and 
constitutions of the same Church. 

"I also admit the holy Scriptures, according to that 
sense which our holy mother, the church, has held and 
does hold, to which it belongs to judge of the true sense 
and interpretation of the Scriptures; neither will I 
ever take and interpret them otherwise than according 
to the unanimous consent of the fathers. 

"I also profess that there are truly and properly seven 
sacraments of the new law, instituted by Jesus Christ, 
our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind, 
though not all for every one — to wit: baptism, confir- 



182 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

mation, the eucharist, penance, extreme unction, holy 
orders, and matrimonj; and that they confer grace; and 
that of these, ba]3tism, confirmation, and orders cannot 
be reiterated without sacrilege. I also receive and ad- 
mit the received and approved ceremonies of the Catho- 
lic Church, used in the solemn administration of the 
aforesaid sacraments. 

"I embrace and receive all and every one of the 
things which have been defined and declared in the 
holy Council of Trent, concerning original sin and jus- 
tification. 

"I profess, likewise that in the mass there is offered 
to God a true, proper, and propitiatory sacrifice for the 
living and the dead; and that in the most holy sacra- 
ment of the eucharist there is truly, really, and substan- 
tially the body and blood, together with the soul and di- 
vinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that there is made 
a conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the 
body, and of the v\^hole substance of the wine into the 
blood, which conversion the Catholic Church calls trans- 
substantiation. I also confess that under each kind 
Christ is whole and entire, and a true sacrament is re- 
ceived. 

"1 firmly hold that there is a purgatory, and that the 
souls therein detained are helped by the suffrages of the 
faithful. 

"Likewise, that the saints reigning with j^hrist are 
to be honored and invocated, and they offer up prayers 
to God for us; and that their relics ought to be ven- 
erated. 

"I most firmly assert that the images of Christ, of the 
Mother of God, and also of the saints, ought to be had 
and retained, and that due honor and veneration are to 
be given them. 

"I also affirm that the power of indulgences was left 
by Christ to the Church, and that the "use of them is 
most wholesome to Christian people. 

"I acknowledge the holy Catholic Apostolic Roman 
Church for the mother and mistress of all Churches, 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. ' 183 

and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Eome, 
successor to St. Peter, prince of the apostles and vicar 
of Jesus Christ on earth. 

"I also undoubtedly receive and profess all other 
things delivered, defined, and declared by the Sacred 
Canons and General Councils, and particularly by the 
Holy Council of Trent, and delivered, defined and de- 
clared by the General Council of the Vatican ; especially 
concerning the Primacy of the Eoman Pontiff and his 
infallible teaching authority; and I also condemn, 
reject, and anathematize all things contrary thereto, and 
all heresies whatsoever condemned, rejected and anathe- 
matized by the Church. 

^'This True Catholic Faith, out of which none can be 
sflved, I now truly profess and truly hold. And I, A. 
B., promise to hold and profess the same whole and en- 
tire, w^ith God's assistance, to the end of my life. Auien." 

EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 

The Protestant Episcopal Church of the United 
States is a daughter of the Church of England. 

THE THIETY-NINE ARTICLES. 

L— Of Faith in the Holy Trinity. 

There is but one living and true God, everlasting, 
without bod}^, parts, or passions; of infiinite power, 
wisdom, and goodness; the Maker and preserver of all 
things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this 
Godhead there be three Persons of one substance, power, 
and eternity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 
II.— Of the Word, or Son of God, Which Was Made 
Very Man. 

The Son, which is the Word of the Father, begotten 
from everlasting of the Father, the very and eternal 
God, of one substance with the Father, took man's na- 
ture in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, of her sub- 
stance; so that two whole and perfect natures-^— that is 
to say, the Godhead and Manhood — were joined to- 
gether in one Person, never to be divided; whereof is 



184 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

one Christ very God and very Man; who truly suffered, 
was crucified, dead and buried, to reconcile his father to 
us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but 
also for actual sins of men. 

III.— Of the Going Down of Christ Into Hell. 

As Christ died for us, and was buried, so also it is to 
be believed, that he went down into Hell. 

IV. — Of tne Eesurrection of Christ, 

Christ did truly rise again from death, and took again 
his body, with flesh, bones, and all things appertaining 
to the perfection of Man's nature, wherewith he ascend- 
ed into Heaven, and there sitteth, until he return to 
judge all men at the last day. 

v.— Of the Holy Ghost. 

The Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the 
Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory, with the 
Father and the Son, very and eternal God. 
VI. — Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for 
Salvation. 

Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to 
salvation: So that whatsoever is not read therein, nor 
may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man 
that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be 
thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the 
name of the Holy Scripture, we do understand those 
canonical books of the Old and Xew Testament of whose 
authority was never any doubt in the Church. 
Of the Names and Numbers of the Canonical Books. 

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, 
Joshua, Judges, Euth, The First Book of Samuel, The 
Second Book of Samuel, The First Book of Kings, The 
Second Book of Kings, The First Book of Chronicles, 
The Second Book of Chronicles, The First Book of 
Esdras,The Second Book of Esdras,The Book of Esther, 
The Book of Job, The Psalms, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes 
or Preacher, Cantica, or Songs of Solomon, Four Pro- 
phets the greater, Twelve Prophets the less. 

And the other Books, as Hierome saith, the Church 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 185 

doth read for example of life and instruction of man- 
ners, but yet doth it not apply them to establish any 
doctrine; such are these following: — 

The Third Book of Esdras, The Fourth Book of 
Esdras, The Book of Tobias, The Book of Judith, The 
rest of the Book of Esther, The Book of Wisdom, Jesus 
the Son of Sirach, Baruch the Prophet, The Song of the 
Three Children, The Story of Susanna, Of Bel and the 
Dragon, The Prayer of Manasses, The First Book of 
Maccabees, The Second Book of Maccabees. 

All the Books of the New Testament, as they are com- 
monly received, we do receive, and account them 
Canonical. 

VII.— Of the Old Testament. 

The Old Testament is not contrary to the New; for 
both in the New and Old Testament everlasting life is 
offered to mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator 
between God and Man, being both God and Man. 
Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign that the 
old Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Al- 
though the Law given from God to Moses, as touching 
ceremonies and rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the 
civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received 
in any Commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no Chris- 
tian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the 
Commandments which are called moral. 

VIII.— Of the Three Creeds. 

The three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasius's Creed, 
and that which is commonly called the Apostles' Creed, 
ought thoroughly to be received and believed; for they 
may be proved by most certain warrants of Holy 
Scripture. • 

IX.— Of Original, or Birth Sin. 

Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam — 
as the Pelagians do vainly talk — but it is the fault and 
corruption of the nature of every man, that naturally is 
engendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man is 



186 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his 
own nature inclined to evil, so that the Flesh lusteth 
always contrary to the Spirit; and therefore, in every 
person born into this world, it deserveth God's wrath 
and damnation. And this infection of nature doth re- 
main — yea, in them that are regenerated; whereby the 
lust of flesh, called in Greek phronema sarkos, which 
some do expound the wisdom, some sensuality, some the 
affection, some the desire of the flesh, is not subject to 
the Law of God. And although there is no condemna- 
tion for them that believe and are baptised, yet the 
Apostle doth confess that concupiscence and lust hath of 
itself the nature of sin. 

X.— Of Free Will. 

The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such, 
that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own 
natural strength and good works, to faith and calling 
upon God: Wherefore we have no power to do good 
works, pleasant and acceptable to God, without the 
grace of God, by Christ, preventing us, that we may have 
a good will, and working with us, when we have that 
good will. 

XI.— Of the Justification of Man. 

We are accounted righteous before God, only for the 
merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by faith, 
and not for our own works ordeservings. Wherefore, that 
we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doc- 
trine, and very full of comfort: as more largely is ex- 
pressed in the Homily of Justification. 

XII.— Of Good Works. 

Albeit that good works, which are the fruits of faitli, 
and follow after justification, cannot put away our sine, 
and endure the severity of God's Judgment; yet are 
they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, and do 
spring out, necessarily, of a true and lively faith; insr- 
much that by them a lively faith may be as evidently 
known, as a tree discerned by the fruit. 



TN AMERICAN HISTORY. 187 

XIII. — Of Works Before Justification. 
"Works done before the grace of Christ, and the in- 
si^iration of the Spirit, are not pleasant to God, foras- 
much as they spring not of faith in Jesus Christ : neither 
do they make men meet to receive grace, or, as the 
School Authors say, deserve grace of congruity; yea 
rather, for that they are not done as God hath willed and 
commanded them to be done, we doubt not but thev 
have the nature of sin. 

Xiy. — Of Works of Supererogation. 

Voluntary works besides, over and above God's 
Commandments, which they call works of supererorga- 
tion, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety. 
For by them men do declare, that they do not only 
render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but 
that they do more for his sake, than of bounden duty is 
required; whereas Christ saith plainly. When ye hatli 
done all that are commanded to you, say. We are unpro- 
fitable servants. 

XY.— Of Christ Alone Without Sin. 

Christ, in the truth of our nature, was made like un- 
to us in all things, sin only except; from which he was 
clearly void, both in his flesh and in his spirit. He came 
to be the Lamb without spot, who, by sacrifice of himself 
once made, should take away the sins of the world; and 
sin, as St. John saith, was not in him. But all we the 
rest, although baptised and born again in Christ, yet of- 
fend in many things; and, if we say we have no sin, we 
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

XYI.— Of Sin After Baptism. 

Xot every deadly sin, willingly committed after Bap- 
tism, is sin against the Holy Ghost and unpardonable. 
Wherefore the grant of repentance is not to be denied to 
such as fall into sin after Baptism. After we have re- 
ceived the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given, 
and fall into sin; and by the grace of God we ma_y rise 
again, and amend our lives. And therefore they are to 



188 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

be condemned^ which say, they can no more sin as long 
as they live here, or deny the place of forgiveness to 
snch as truly repent. 

XVII.— Of Predestination and Election. 

Predestination to life is the everlasting purpose of 
God, whereby, before the foundations of the world were 
laid, he hath constantly decreed by his counsel, secret 
to us, to deliver from curse and damnation those whom 
he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring 
them by Christ to everlasting salvation, as vessels made 
to honor. Wherefore, they which be endued with so 
excellent a benefit of God, be called, according to God^s 
purpose, by his spirit working in due season: They 
through grace obey the calling: They be justified 
freely : They be made sons of God by adoption : They 
be made like the image of his only begotten Son Jesus' 
Christ: They walk religiously in good works: and, at 
length, by God's mercy, they attain to everlasting 
felicity. 

As the godly consideration of Predestination and our 
Election in Christ, is full of sweet, pleasant, and un- 
speakable comfort to godly persons, and such as feel in 
themselves the working of the Spirit of Christ, morti- 
fying the works of the flesh and their earthly members, 
and drawing up their minds to high and heavenly 
things; as well because it doth greatly establish and con- 
firm their faith of eternal salvation to be enjoyed 
through Christ, as because it doth fervently kindle their 
love towards God; so, for curious and carnal persons, 
lacking the Spirit of Christ, to have continually before 
their eyes the sentence of God's Predestination, is a most 
dangerous downfall, whereby the devil doth thrust them 
either into desperation, or into wretchlessness of most 
unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. 

Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in such 
wise as they be generally set forth to us in Holy Scrip- 
ture; And in our doings, that will if God is to be fol- 
lowed, which we have expressly declared unto us in the 
word of God. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 189 

XVIII.— Of Obtaining Eternal Salvation Only by the 
Name of Christ. 
They also are to had accursed, that presume to say, 
that every man shall be saved by the law or sect which 
he professeth, so that he be diligent to frame his life ac- 
cording to that law, and the light of nature. For Holy 
Scripture doth set out unto us only the name of Jesus 
Christ, whereby men must be saved. 

XIX.— Of the Church. 
The visible Church of Christ is a Congregation of 
faithful men, in the which the true word of God is 
preached, and the Sacraments be duly ministered ac- 
cording to Christ's ordinance, in all those things that of 
necessity are requisite to the same. 

As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, 
have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not 
only in their living and manner of ceremonies, but also 
in matters of faith. 

XX.— Of the Authority of the Church. 
The Church hath power to decree Rites or Ceremonies 
and authority in controversies of faith; and yet it is not 
lawful for the Church to ordain anything that is con- 
trary to God's Word written ; neither may it so expound 
one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to another. 
Wherefore, although the Church be a witness and a 
keeper of Holy Writ, yet as it ought, not to decree any 
thing against the same, so besides the same ought it not 
to enforce anything to be believed for necessity of sal- 
vation. 

XXI. — Of the Authority of General Councils. 

General Councils may not be gathered together with- 
out the commandment and will of Princes; and when 
they be gathered together — forasmuch as they be an as- 
sembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the 
Spirit and Word of God — they may err, and sometimes 
have erred, even in things pertaining unto God. Where- 
fore, things ordained by them as necessary to salvation 
have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be 



190 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

declared that they be taken out of Holy Scripture. 
XXII.— Of Purgatory. 

The Eomish doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, 
Worshipping, and Adoration, as well of Images as of 
Eeliques, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, 
vainly invented, and grounded ujwn no warranty of 
Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God. 
XXIII. — Of Ministering in the Congregation. 

It is not lawful for any man to take upon him the 
office of public preaching or ministering the Sacraments 
in the Congregation, before he be lawfully called and 
sent to execute the same. And those we ought to judge 
lawfully called and sent, which be chosen and called to 
this work by men who have public authority given unto 
them in the Congregation, to call and send ministers 
into the Lord's vineyard. 

XXI"V .-^Of Speaking in the Congregation in Such a 
Tongue as the People Understandeth. 
It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, 
and the custom of the primitive Church, to have public 
prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in 
a tongue not understanded of the people. 

XXY.— Of the Sacraments. 

Sacraments ordained of Christ, be not only badges or 
tokens of Christian men's profession ; but rather they be 
certain sure witnesses, and effectual signs of grace, and 
God's good-will towards us, by the which he doth work 
invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also 
strengthen and confirm our faith in him. 

There are two Sacraments ordained of Christ of Lord 
in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper 
of the Lord. 

Those five, commonly called Sacraments, that is to 
say. Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony,, and 
Extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments 
of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly of the 
corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 191 

life allowed in the Scriptures; but 3'et have not like na- 
ture of Sacraments with Baptism and the Lord's Supper, 
for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony or- 
dained of God. 

The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be 
gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we should 
duly use them. And in such only as worthily receive the 
same, they havea wholesome effect or operation; but they 
that receive them unworthily, purchase to themselves 
damnation, as St. Paul saith. 

XXVI. — Of the Unworthiness of the Ministers, AYhich 
Hinders Xot the Effect of the Sacraments. 

Although in the visible Church the evil be ever 
mingled with the good, and sometimes the evil have 
chief authority in the ministration of the Word and 
Sacraments; yet forasmuch as they do not the same in 
their own name, but in Christ's, and do minister by his 
commission and authority, we may use their ministry, 
both in hearing the Word of God, and in the receiving of 
the Sacraments. Neither is the effect of Christ's ordinance 
taken away by their wickedness, nor the grace of God's 
gifts diminished from such as, by faith, and rightly, do 
receive the Sacraments ministered unto them; which be 
effectual, because of Christ's institution and promise, 
although they be ministered by evil men. 

Xevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of the 
Church, that inquiry be made of evil ministers, and that 
they be accused by those that have knowledge of their_ 
offences; and finally, being found guilty, by just judg- 
ment be deposed. 

XXVII.— Of Baptism. 

Baptism is not only a sign of profession, and mark of 
difference, whereby Christian men are discerned from 
others that be not christened ; but it is also a sign of Ee- 
generation, or Xew Birth; whereby, as by an instru- 
ment, they that receive baptism rightly, are grafted into 
the Church ; the promises of the forgiveness of sin, and 
of our adoption to be the sons of God by the Holy 



192 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

Ghost, are visibly signed and sealed; faith is confirmed, 
and grace increased, by virtue of prayer unto God. The 
Baptism of young children is in any wise to be retained 
in the Church, as most agreeable with the institution of 

Christ. 

XXVIII.— Of the Lord's Supper. 

The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love 
that Christians ought to have among themselves one to 
another; but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemp- 
tion by Christ's death ; insomuch that to such as rightly, 
worthily, and with faith, receive the same, the bread 
which we break is a partaking of the body of Christ ; and 
likewise, the cup of blessing is a partaking of the blood 
of Christ. 

Transubstantiation — or the change of the substance 
of bread and wine in the Supper of the Lord — cannot be 
proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain 
words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacra- 
ment, and hath given occasion to many superstitions. 

The body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten in the 
Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. 
And the mean, whereby the Body of Christ is received 
and eaten in the supper, is Faith. 

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by 
Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or 
worshipped. 

XXIX.— Of the Wicked Which Eat Not the Body of 
Christ in the Use of the Lord's Supper. 

The wicked, and such as be void of a lively faith, al- 
though they do carnally and visibly press with their 
teeth, as St. Augustine saith, the Sacrament of the Body 
and Blood of Christ; yet in no wise are they partakers 
of Christ, but rather, to their condemnation, do eat and 
drink the sign or sacrament of so great a thing. 

XXX.— Of Both Kinds. 

The Cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the Lay- 
people; for both the parts of the Lord's Sacrament, by 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 193 

Chrisf s ordinance and commandment, ought to be ad- 
ministered to all Christian men alike. 
XXXI.—Of the One Oblation of Christ Finished Upon 
the Cross. 
The offering of Christ once made, is that perfect Ee- 
demption, Propitiation, and Satisfaction for all the sins 
of the whole world, both original and actual; and there 
is none other satisfaction for sin but that alone. Where- 
fore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was com- 
monly said, that the Priest did offer Christ for the quick 
and the dead, to have remission of pain or guilt, were 
blasphemous fables, and dangerous deceits. 

XXXII.— Of the Marriage of Priests. 

Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by 
God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to 
abstain from marriage : Therefore it is lawful for them, 
as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own 
discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to 
godliness. 

XXXIII. — Of Excommunicated Persons, How They 
Are to Be Avoided. 

That person, which by open denunciation of the 
Church is rightly cut off from the unity of the Church, 
and excommunicated, ought to be taken of the whole 
multitude of the faithful, as an heathen or Publican, 
until he be openly reconciled by penance, and received 
into t^e Church by a Judge that hath authority there- 
unto. 

XXXIV.— Of the Traditions of the Church. 

It is not necessary that Traditions and Ceremonies be 
in all places one, or utterly like, for at all times they 
have been diverse, and may be changed according to the 
diversity of Countries, Times, and Men's Manners, so 
that nothing be ordained against God's Word. Whoso- 
ever,through his private judgment, willingly and purpose 
ly doth openly break the traditions and ceremonies of the 
Church, which be not repugnant to the Word of God, 



194 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

and be ordained and approved by common authority, 
ought to be rebuked openly — that others may fear to do 
the like — as he that oifendeth against the common order 
of the Church, and hurteth the authority of the Magis- 
trate, and woundeth the consciences of the weak 
brethren. 

Every particular or national Church hath authority to 
ordain, change, and abolish ceremonies or rites of the 
Church, ordained only by man's authority, so that all 
things be done to edifying. 

XXXV.— Of Homilies. 
The Second Book o^ Homilies,the several titles where- 
of we have joined under this article, doth contain a Godly 
and wholesome doctrine, and necessary for these times; 
as doth the former Book of Homilies, which were set 
forth in the time of Edward the Sixth; and therefore 
we judge them to be read in Churches by the ministers 
diligently and distinctly, that they may be understanded 
of the people. 

Of the Xames of the Homilies. 

1. Of the right Use of the Church. 

2. Against Peril of Idolatry. 

3. Of Eepairing and Keeping clean of Churches. 

4. Of Good Works; first of Fasting. 

5. Against Gluttony and Drunkenness. 

6. Against Excess of Apparel. 

7. Of Prayer. 

8. Of the Place and Time of Prayer. 

9. That Common Prayer and Sacraments Ought to 

be administered in a Known Tongue. 

10. Of the Reverent Estimation of God's Word. 

11. Of Alms-doing. 

12. Of the Nativity of Christ. 

13. Of the Passion of Christ. 

14. Of the Resurrection of Christ. 

15. Of the worthy Receiving of the Sacrament of 

the Body and Blood of Christ. 

16. Of the Gifts of the Holy Ghost. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 195 

17. For the Rogation Days. 

18. Of the State of Matrimony. 

19. Of Eepentance. 

20. Against Idleness. 

21. Against Eebellion. 

XXXVI. — Of Consecration of Bishops and Ministers. 
The book of Consecration of Archbishops and Bisliops 
and Ordering of Priests and Deacons, lately set forth in 
the time of Edward the Sixth, and confirmed at the 
same time by authority of Parliament, doth contain all 
things necessary to such consecration and ordering; 
neither hath it any thing that of itself is superstitious 
and ungodly. And therefore, whosoever are conse- 
crated or ordered according to the rites of that book 
since the second year of the fore-named King Edward, 
unto this time, or hereafter shall be consecrated or or- 
dered according to the same rites, we decree all such to 
be rightly, orderly, and lawfully consecrated and 
ordered. 

XXXVII.— Of the Civil Magistrates. 

The King^s Majesty hath the chief power in this realm 
of England and other his dominions, unto whom the 
chief government of all estates of this Realm, whether 
they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain 
and is not, nor ought to be, subject to any foreign juris- 
diction. 

Where we attribute to the King's Majesty the chief 
government, by which titles we understand the minds of 
some' slanderous folks to be offended, We give not to our 
Prince the ministering either of God's Word or of the 
Sacraments, the which thing the Injunctions also, lately 
set by Elizabeth, our Queen, do most plainly testify; but 
that only prerogative which we see to have been given 
always to all godly Princes in Holy Scriptures by God 
Himself ; that is, that they should rule all estates and de- 
grees committed to their charge by God, whether they 
be ecclesiastical or temporal, and restrain with the civil 
sword the stubborn and evil doers. 



196 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

The Bishop of Eome hath no jurisdiction in this 
Realm of England. 

The laws of the Eealm may punish Christian men 
with death for heinous and grievous offences. 

It is lawful for Christian men at the commandment 
of the Magistrate, to wear weapons and serve in the 
wars. 

XXXVIII.— Of Christian Men's Goods, Which Are Not 
Common. 

The riches and goods of Christians are not common, 
as touching the right, title and possession of the same, 
as certain Anabaptists do falsely boast. Notwithstanding, 
every man ought, of such things as he possesseth, liber- 
ally to give alms to the poor, according to his ability. 
XXXIX.— Of a Christian Man's Oath. 

As we confess that vain and rash swearing is forbid- 
den Christian men by our Lord Jesus Christ, and James 
his Apostle; so we judge that Christian religion doth 
not prohibit but that a man may swear when the Magis- 
trate requireth, in a cause of faith and charity; so it be 
done, according to the Prophet's teaching, in justice, 
judgment and truth. 

THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 

• Organized in New York City, December 2, 1873. 
Declaration of Principles. 

I. The Reformed Episcopal Church, holding "the 
faith once delivered unto the saints," declares its belief 
in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments 
as the Word of God, and the sole Rule of Faith and 
Practice; in the Creed, "commonly called the Apostles' 
Creed;" in the Divine institution of the Sacraments of 
Baptism and the Lord's Supper; and in the doctrines of 
grace substantially as they are set forth in the Thirty- 
nine Articles of Religion. 

II. This Church recognizes and adheres to Episco- 
pacy, not as of divine right, but as a very ancient and 
desirable form of church polity. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 197 

III. This Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall 
not be imperative or repressive of freedom in praj^er, ac- 
cepts the Book of Common Prayer, as it was revised, 
proposed, and recommended for use by the General Con- 
vention of the Protestant Episcopal Chitrch, A. D. 1785, 
reserving full liberty to alter, abridge, enlarge, and 
amend the same, as may seem most conducive to the 
edification of the people, ^^provided that the substance 
of the faith be kept entire." 

IV. — This Church condemns and rejects the follow- 
ing erroneous and strange doctrines, as contrary to God's 
Word: 

First, That the Church of Christ exists only in one 
order or form of ecclesiastical polity. 

Second, That Christian ministers are "priests'' in 
another sense than that in which all believers are "a 
royal priesthood." 

Third, That the Lord's Table is an altar on which the 
oblation of the Body, and Blood of Christ is offered 
anew to the Father. 

Fourth, That the presence of Christ in the Lord's 
Supper is a presence in the elements of Bread and Wine. 

Fifth,That Eegeneration is inseparably connected with 
Baptism. 

THE PEESBYTEEIAN CHURCH INTHEUMTED 
STATES. 

The Presbyterian Church in the United States is 
commonly regarded as the offspring of the Kirk of Scot- 
land, although it has spread from three centres; for it 
was established by the Dutch in New York, by the 
Scotch-Irish in Virginia and New Jersey, and by the 
Huguenots in Carolina. The first Dutch church was 
organized in New Amsterdam in 1619; Scotch-Irish 
Presbyterians settled on the Elizabeth River, Va., be- 
tween 1670 and 1680, and a church was organized at 
Snow Hill,Md.,in 1684; the Huguenots were driven from 
France in 1685, and they began founding churches in 
this country shortly after that date.

The Scriptures of the Old and Xew Testa- 
ments shall be acknowledged to be the inspired

ment and discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the 
United States shall be approved as containing the princi 
pies and rules of our polity." 

THE CUMBEELAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 

Organized in Kentucky in 1810. 

The Confession of Faith and Catechism are a modi- 
fication of the Westminster Confession, and contain sub- 
stantially the following doctrines: that the Scriptures 
are the only infallible rule of faith and practice; that 
God is an infinite, eternal, and unchangeable spirit, ex- 
isting mysteriously in three persons, the three being 
equal in power and glory; that God is the Creator and 
Preserver of all things; that the decrees of God extend 
only to what is for his glory ; that he has not decreed the 
existence of sin, because it is neither for his glory nor 
the good of his creatures; that man was created upright, 
in the image of God, but that by the transgression of the 
federal head, he has become totally depraved, so much so 
that he can do no good thing without the aid of divine 
grace; that Jesus Christ is the mediator between God 
and man; that he is both God and man in one person; 
that he obeyed the law perfectly, and died on the cross 
to make satisfaction for sin; that, in the expressive lan- 
guage of the apostle, he tasted death for every man; 
that the Holy Spirit is the efficient agent in our convic- 
tion, regeneration, and sanctification ; that repentance 
and faith are necessary in order to acceptance, and that 
both are inseparable from a change of heart; that justi- 
fication is by faith alone; that sanctification is a pro- 
gressive work, and not completed till death; that those 
who believe in Christ, and are regenerated by his Spirit, 
will never fall away and be lost; that there will l»e 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 199 

a general resurrection and judgment, and that the right- 
eous will be received to everlasting happiness, and the 
wicked consigned to everlasting misery. 

. THE UNITED PEESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 

The United Presbyterian Church was formed in Pitts- 
burg, Pa., May 26, 1858, by a union of the Associate and 
Associate Reformed Churches of Xorth America. These 
churches claimed as their common parent the Church of 
Scotland, and were substantially one in doctrine, wor- 
ship, and church government. 

Of the "Testimony of the United Presbyterian 
Church," we give the following as the substance : 

Article 1. The Scriptures are in every part the in- 
spired Word of God, both in language and in sentiment, 
and are the only rule of faith and practice. 

Article 2. Jesus Christ is Supreme God, being one 
in essence with the Father, and also the Son of God in 
respect of his natural, necessary, and eternal relation to 
the Father. 

x\rticle 3. God created man in a state of perfect 
holiness and with perfect ability to obey him, and en- 
tered into a covenant with him, in which covenant 
Adam was the representative of all his natural posterity, 
so that in him they were to stand or fall as he stood or 
fell. 

Article 4. Our first parents, by breach of covenant 
with God, subjected themselves to his eternal wrath and 
brought themselves into a state of depravity wholly in- 
clined to sin, and unable, of themselves, to perform a 
single act of acceptable obedience to God; that their 
posterity are born in the same state of guilt, depravity, 
and inability, and so will continue until delivered there- 
from by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Article 5. That Jesus Christ, by appointment of the 
Father and by his owm voluntary act, placed himself in 
the room of a definite number who w^ere chosen in him 
before the foundation of the world; so that he was their 
proper and legal surety, and, as such, in their behalf, 



200 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

satisfied the justice of God and answered all the demands 
which Ihe law had against them, and thereby infallibly 
obtained for them eternal redemption. 

Article 6. That in justification there is an imputa- 
tion to the believer of that righteousness, or satisfaction 
and obedience, which the Lord Jesus Christ, as surety 
of his people, rendered to the law; and it is only on the 
ground of this imputed righteousness that his sins are 
pardoned or his person accepted of God. 

Article 7. That the gospel in its strict and proper 
sense, as distinguished from the law, is a revelation of 
grace to sinners as such; and that it contains a free and 
unconditional offer and grant of salvation through 
Christ to all who hear it, whatever may be their char- 
acter or condition. 

Article 8. That saving faith is not merely an assent 
of the mind to the proposition that Jesus Christ is the 
Saviour of sinners; but also a cordial reception and ap- 
propriation of him by the sinner as his Saviour, with an 
accompanying persuasion or assurance corresponding to 
the degree or strength of his faith that he shall be 
saved by him. 

Article 9. That repentance is one of the fruits of a 
justifying faith, and, of course, cannot be regarded as a 
ground of the sinner's pardon, or as necessar}^ to qualify 
him for coming to Christ. 

Article 10. That although the moral law is of per- 
petual obligation, and ever binds the believer as a rule of 
life, yet as a covenant, he is, by his justification through 
Christ, completely and forever set free from it, and, con- 
sequently, is not required to yield obedience to it as a 
condition of life and salvation. 

Article 11. That the Holy Spirit accompanying the 
word so acts upon the soul as to quicken, regenerate and 
sanctify it; and that without its direct operation the 
soul would have no ability to perceive in a saving man- 
ner the truth of God's Word or yield to the motives 
which it presents. 

Article 12. That Jesus Christ has. a two-fold do- 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 201 

minion besides that which belongs to Him as God. 
These are over the Church, of which He is the living 
Head and Lawgiver, and over all created persons and 
things. 

Article 13. That the law of God is supreme in its 
authority and obligations, and where commands of 
Church and State conflict we are to obey God rather 
than man. 

Article 14. That slaveholding is a violation of the 
law of God and contrary to the letter and spirit of 
Christianity. 

Article 15. That all associations which impose an 
oath of secrecy or an obligation to obey a code of un- 
known laws, are inconsistent with the genius and spirit 
of Christianity, and church members ought not to have 
fellowship with them. 

Article 16. That the Church should not extend com- 
munion in sealing ordinances to those who refuse adher- 
ence to her profession or subjection to her government 
and discipline, or who refuse to forsake a communion 
which is inconsistent with the profession she makes; 
nor should communion in any ordinance of worship be 
held under such circumstances as would be inconsistent 
with the keeping of these ordinances pure and entire, 
or so as to give countenance to any corruption of the 
doctrines and institutions of Christ. 

Article 17. That public social covenanting is a 
moral duty, not at stated times, but upon extraordinary 
occasions, in times of danger to the Church, in times of 
exposure to backsliding, and in times of reformation. 
Such covenant transactions bind posterity faithfully to 
adhere to and prosecute the object for which they were 
entered into. 

Article 18. That it is the will of God that the songs 
contained in the Book of Psalms be sung in His worship, 
both public and private, to the end of the world ; and in 
singing God's praise these songs should be employed to 
the exclusion of the devotional compositions of unin- 
spired men.

THE METHODIST PEOTESTANT CHURCH. 

Organized in Baltimore^ iN'ovember, 1830. 

The Eev. Francis Waters, D. D., was elected president. 
The oflice of bishop was not recognized, and the presi- 
dents of the General Conferences were to be chosen by 
ballot. The basis on which the government was 
founded embraced two very important particulars : First, 
"The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Head of the Church, 
and the word of God is the sufficient rule of faith and 
practice, in all things pertaining to godliness." Second, 
"A written constitution establishing the form of govern- 
ment, and securing to the ministers and members of •:he 
church their rights and privileges, on an equitable plan 
of representation, is essential to, and the best safeguard 
of, Christian liberty." 

THE WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH. 
Organized at Utica, N". Y., in 1843. 
The elementary principles of the denomination are: 
1. A Christian church is a society of believers in 



204 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

'Jesus Christ assembled in any one place for religious 
worship, and is of divine institution. 

2. Christ is the only Head of the Church; and the 
Word of God the only rule of faith and conduct. 

3. No person who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and 
obeys the gospel of God our Saviour, ought to be de- 
prived of church membership. 

4. Every man has an inalienable right to private 
judgment in matters of religion, and an equal right to 
express his opinion in any way which will not violate 
the laws of God or the rights of his fellow-men. 

5. Church trials should be conducted on gospel 
principles only; and no minister or member should be 
excommunicated except for immorality, the propagation 
of unchristian doctrines, or for the neglect of duties en- 
joined by the Word of God. 

6. The pastoral or ministerial office and duties are 
of divine appointment, and all elders in the Church of 
God are equal; but ministers are forbidden to lord it 
over God^s heritage, or to have dominion over the faith 
of the saints. 

7. The church has a right to form and enforce such 
rules and regulations only as are in accordance with 
the Holy Scriptures, and may be necessary, or have a 
tendency, to carry into effect the great system of prac- 
tical Christianity. 

8. Whatever power may be necessary to the forma- 
tion of rules and regulations is inherent in the ministers 
and members of the church; but so much of that power 
may be delegated, from time to time, upon a plan of 
representation as they may judge necessary and proper. 

9. It is the duty of all ministers and members of the 
church to maintain godliness and to oppose all moral 
evil. 

10. It is obligatory on ministers of the Gospel to be 
faithful in the discharge of their pastoral and ministerial 
duties; and it is also obligatory on the members to es- 
teem ministers highly for their work's sake, and to 
render them a righteous compensation for their labors. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 205 

THE EYAIsTGELICAL ASSOCIATION OR GER- 
MAN METHODIST. 

Founded by Jacob Albright about 1800 in the State of 
Pennsylvania. 

Their Articles of Faith conform closely to those of 
the Methodist Episcopal. 

THE COLORED METHODIST EPISCOPAL 

CHURCH IN AMERICA. 

This denomination is an outgrowth of the M. E. 
Church (South) and was organized at Jackson, Tenn., 
December 16, 1870. Articles of Faith same as the M. 
E. Church. 

THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL 

CHURCH. 

This denomination was organized by colored members 
of the M. E. Church in Philadelphia in 1816. Articles 
of Faith same as Methodist Episcopal Church. 

THE ZION AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL 

CHURCH. 

This church originated in a withdrawal of colored 
people from the M. E. churches in New York City in 
1819. Articles of Faith nearly the same as the Metho- 
dist Episcopal. 

BAPTIST CHURCH. 

The first Baptist Church in the United States was 
founded by Roger AVilliam in 1639 at Providence, Rhode 
Island. 

There is much Baptists hold in common with all 
Evangelical Christians. They believe in the Divine 
authenticity and credibility of the Bible, accepting all 
its books as inspired. They believe in the Trinity, in 
man's creation in holiness, in his fall through trans- 
gression, and the consequent sinfulness of the whole 



2o6 IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 

human race; in man's guilt and condemnation, and tlie 
consequent impossibility of justification "by deeds of the 
law." They believe in what is termed "vicarious atone- 
ment." That Christ paid the penalty due our sins, and 
that we can be justified only by faith in his word. That 
"we are saved from wrath through him." They believe 
in the necessity of regeneration, and that this is effected 
by the Holy Spirit. In a word, in those respects in 
which they agree with the great body of Evangelical 
Christians, they are Calvinists, especially holding in 
common with, the great Presbyterian family the doctrine 
of election to eternal life in Jesus Christ. 

They differ from others in holding that no person is, 
on any pretence or for any reason, to be admitted into 
membership in the visible church until he or she has 
professed regeneration. Until this is claimed and satis- 
factory evidence given, they will not administer the or- 
dinance of baptism. Hence they oppose infant baptism, 
regarding baptism in the name of the Trinity as the 
"outward sign of an inward and invisible work." Con- 
sequently, they stoutly oppose everything savoring of 
"Baptismal Regeneration" believing a man must be re- 
generated and give evidence of saving faith before being 
baptised; and they say baptism must be the voluntary 
act of a qualified agent. They do not ask an applicant 
for membership to subscribe to a creed or to commit a 
catechism. They rely on the Holy Spirit, by means of 
the written word, guiding him into all truth, while caus- 
ing him to grow in grace. They hold the Church of 
Christ to be a spiritual temple, "built up of lively 
stones." Hence, they have always protested against all 
alliances of Church and State, believing that Christ's 
kingdom is not of this world. Their churches 'are all 
independent of each other, each member, whether man 
or woman, black or white, having the same privileges as 
any other member. They deny the right of conference, 
or synod, or bishops, or any other ecclesiastical body to 
legislate for His churches ; nor have they «^ny creed 
binding all to subscribe to it. The Bible is pre-emin- 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 207 

ently their onl}^ creed. They contend for but one order 
in the ministry, that of ordained pastors. They have 
deacons, but their functions are not spiritual, they are 
temporal and secular, or at most assistants of the pastor 
in attending to details, as the care of ihe poor of the 
church, the pastor^s salary, and the communion service, 
providing the bread and wine, and distributing at the 
table. The pastor presides in the examination of candi- 
dates for membership, but such examination takes placj; 
in the presence of the entire membership, and any mem- 
ber is at liberty to ask any appropriate question of the 
candidate respecting what is termed his "Christian ex- 
perience," and views of Bible doctrine. The admission 
is by vote of the entire membership, the majority decid- 
ing. They regard the ordinances as but two, Baptism 
and the Lord's Supper, holding the former to symbolize 
regeneration and the new life of faith in Christ, and 
the latter our dependence on Christ for spiritual life. 

FEEEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH. 

Organized June 30^ 1780, at New Durham, N. H. • 
Their doctrine is the same as other Baptists in regard 
to baptism and the question of church government. 
They deny personal, unconditional election to eternal 
life in Christ, in consequence of an eternal decree. They 
practice what is known as "open communion," and do 
not regard immersion as essential to communion, neither 
do they regard baptism as a Scriptural prerequisite to 
the Lord's table. 

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. 

Organized September 7, 1810, at Brush Run, Wash- 
ington county, Penn., by Rev. Thomas Campbell, and 
other seceders from the Presbyterian church. 

Their doctrine is similar to that of the Baptists. 
They differ in some respects, as they do not require sub- 
mission to a creed as a condition to membership. 

THE MENNONITES. 

These Christians are a branch of the Baptist Church, 



2o8 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

and derive their name from Menno Simons, who was 
formerly a Roman Catholic priest, June 24, 1535, they 
settled in the Netherlands and North Germany. They 
rejected infant baptism and did not immerse. In 1683 
and 1698 large numbers came to Pennsylvania and in 
1735 there were 500 families in Lancaster County, Perm. 

THE CHUECH OF GOD OR WINEBRENNERIANS. 

This denomination sprang from the German Re- 
formed Church, and was founded by Rev. John Wine- 
brenner at Harrisburg, Penn., in 1830. They agree 
with the Baptists in regard to Baptism, but in other re- 
spects their doctrine is nearly the same as the Methodists. 

SEVENTH-DAY BAPTISTS. 

In 1665 Stephen Mumford, a Seventh-Day Baptist, 
came from England to Newport, R. I. The first Seventh- 
Day Baptist church in America was founded in 1681. 
They differ from the regular Baptists by observing the 
seventh instead of the first day of the week. 

LIBERAL BAPTISTS OF AMERICA. 

A convention was held in Minneapolis, Minn., October 
2, 1883, and the following report was adopted declaring 
that the several associations of churches of Jesus Christ 
in America, who held the evangelical faith, practicingbe- 
lievers^ baptism, and excluding no recognized Christian 
from the Lord's table, are one by the strongest ties, that 
of a common faith and spirit, unity of purpose, mutual 
respect, and paternal love, and hence should be one in 
formal fellowship and methods of co-operation. Meas- 
ures were projected for hastening the union of all these 
believers. 

THE LUTHERAN CHURCH. 

First church established in the United States was by 
the Swedes about the year 1636 on the banks of the 
Delaware river. 

The following are the leading doctrinal points in the 
Confession : 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 209 

1. That there is one divine essence, which is called, 
and is God, eternal, incorporeal, indivisible, infinite in 
power, wisdom, and goodness; and yet that there are 
three persons who are of the same essence and power, 
and are co-eternal; the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Spirit. 

2. That the Word, that is the Son of God, assumed 
human nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary, 
so that the two natures, human and divine, inseparably 
united into one person, constitute one Christ, who is 
true God and man. 

3. That since the fall of Adam all men, who are 
naturally engendered, are born with a depraved nature; 
that is, without the fear of God, or confidence toward 
him, but with sinful propensities. 

4. That the Son of God truly suffered, was crucified, 
died, and was buried, that he might reconcile the Father 
to us, and be a sacrifice not only for original sin, but also 
for all the actual sins of men. That he also sanctifies 
those who believe in him, by sending into their hearts 
the Holy Spirit, who governs, consoles, quickens, and de- 
fends them against the devil and the power of sin. 

5. That men cannot be justified before God by their 
own strength, merit, or works; but that they are justi- 
fied gratuitously, for Christ's sake, through faith. 

6. That this faith must bring forth good fruits ; and 
that it is our duty to perform those good works which 
God commands, because he has enjoined them, and not 
in the expectation of thereby meriting justification be- 
fore him. 

7. That in order that we may obtain this faith the 
ministerial office has been instituted, whose members 
are to preach the Gospel and administer the sacraments 
(viz. Baptism and the Lord's Supper). For through the 
instrumentality of the Word and Sacraments as means 
of Grace, the Holy Spirit is given, who in his own time 
and place produces faith in those who hear the Gospel 
message, viz., that God, for Christ's sake, and not on 



2IO ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

accoimt of any merit in us, justifies those who believe in 
Christ. 

8. That at the end of the world Christ will appear 
for judgment; that he will raise all the dead; that he 
will give to the pious and elect eternal life and endless 
joys, but will condemn wicked men and devils to be 
punished without end. 

THE REFOEMED CHURCH IN AMERICA. 

This is the title that has been chosen by the American 
descendants of the Reformed Protestant Church of Hol- 
land. The first church established in the United States 
was about the year 1623. In government the church is 
strictly Presbyterian. 

The doctrines of the Church are those handed down 
by the Reformers, and are shared in common with all 
branches of the Reformed Churches. The Church re- 
ceives as its creed the Confession of Faith, as revised 
in the national Synod of the Council of Dort, 1618-1619, 
consisting of thirty-seven articles; with the Heidleberg 
Catechism; the Compendium of the Christian religion; 
the Canons of the Council of Dort on the famous five 
points: Predestination, Definite atonement of Christ, 
Man^s entire corruption and helplessness, His conversion 
by God's grace alone, and Perseverance of the Saints in 
grace. 

THE REFORMED CHURCH IN THE UNITED 
STATES. 

This denomination was formerly known as the Ger- 
man Reformed Church. The first church was estab- 
lished in the United States about 1727. This doctrine 
is nearly the same as the Lutheran. 

EVANGELICAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 

Established in this country on the landing of the Pil- 
grims, December 21, 1620. 

The Creed. 

1. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 211 

Maker of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and 
invisible; 

And in the Jesus Christ, His only Son, onr Lord, who 
is of one substance with the Father; by whom all things 
were made; 

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, 
who is sent from the Father and Son, and who together 
with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified. 

2. We believe that the Providence of God, by which 
He executes His eternal purposes in the government of 
the world, is in and over all events ; yet so that the free- 
dom and responsibility of man are not impaired, and sin 
is the act of the creature alone. 

3. We believe that man was made in the image of 
God, that he might know, love, and obey God, and enjoy 
Him forever; that our first parents by disobedience fell 
under the righteous condemnation of God; and that all 
men are so alienated from God that there is no salvation 
from the guilt and power of sin except through God's 
redeeming grace. 

4. We believe that God would have all men return to 
Him; that to this end He has made Himself known, not 
only through the works of nature, the course of His pro- 
vidence, and the consciences of men, but also through 
supernatural revelations made especially to a chosen 
people, and above all, when the fulness of time was 
come, through Jesus Christ, His Son. 

5. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and 
^ew Testaments are the record of God's revelation of 
Himself in the work of redemption ; that they were writ- 
ten by men under the special guidance of the Holy 
Spirit; that they are able to make wise unto salvation; 
and that they constitute the authoritative standard by 
which religious teaching and human conduct are to be 
regulated and judged. 

6. We believe that the love of God to sinful men has 
found its highest expression in the redemptive work of 
His Son ; who became man, uniting His divine nature 



212 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

with our human nature in one person ; who was tempted 
like other men, yet without sin; who, by His humilia- 
tion, His holy obedience. His sufferings, His death on 
the cross, and His resurrection, became a perfect Re- 
deemer; whose sacrifice of Himself for the sins of the 
world declares the righteousness of God, and is the sole 
and sufficient ground of forgiveness and of reconcilia- 
tion with Him. 

7. We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen 
from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where, as the one 
Mediator between God and man, He carries forward His 
work of saving men; that He sends the Holy Spirit to 
convict them of sin, and to lead them to repentance and 
faith ; and that those who through renewing grace turn 
to righteousness, and trust in Jesus Christ as their Re- 
deemer, receive for His sake the forgiveness of their 
sins, and are made the children of God. 

8. We believe that those who are thus regenerated 
and justified, grow in sanctified character through fel- 
lowship with Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, 
the obedience to the truth ; that a holy life is the fruit 
and evidence of a saving faith; and that the believer^s 
hope of continuance in such a life is in the preserving 
grace of God. 

9. We believe that Jesus Christ came to establish 
among men the kingdom of God, the reign of truth and 
love, righteousness and peace; that to Jesus Christ, the 
Head of this kingdom. Christians are directly respon- 
sible in faith and conduct ; and that to Him all have im- 
mediate access without mediatorial or priestly interven- 
tion. 

10. We believe that the Church of Christ, invisible 
and spiritual, comprises all true believers, whose duty it 
is to associate themselves in churches, for the mainten- 
ance of worship, for the promotion of spiritual growth 
and fellowship, and for the conversion of men; that 
these churches, under the guidance of the Holy Scrip- 
tures and in fellowship with one another, may determine 



JN AMERICAN HISTORY. 213 

— each for itself — their organization, statements of be- 
lief, and forms of worship; may appoint and set apart 
their own ministers, and should co-operate in the work 
which Christ has committed to them for the furtherance 
of the Gospel throughout the world. 

11. We believe in the observance of the Lord's Day, 
as a day of holy rest and worship; in the ministry of the 
Word; and in the two Sacraments, which Christ has ap- 
pointed for His Church : Baptism, to be administered to 
believers and their children, as the sign of cleansing 
from sin, of union to Christ, and of the impartation of 
the Holy Spirit; and the Lord's Supper as a symbol of 
His atoning death, a seal of its efficacy, and a means 
whereby He confirms and strengthens the spiritual 
union and communion of believers with Himself. 

We believe in the ultimate prevalence of the kingdom 
of Christ over all the earth; in the glorious appearing 
of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ; in the 
resurrection of the dead; and in a final judgment, the 
issues of which are everlasting punishment and ever- 
lasting life. 

UNITARIAN CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. 

Established in this country on the landing of the Pil- 
grims, December 21, 1620. Separated from the Ortho- 
dox Congregational about 1815. 

Doctrine. 

They believe in the strict personal unity of God. 
They also believe in only one supreme, self-existant God, 
the Father, who exists as one person, one being, infinite 
in his attributes, and the only proper object of the 
highest love and adoration. They regard Jesus Christ, 
as a person distinct from God, and dependent on God, 
from whom he derived his being and power. They ac- 
cept literally his saying: "My Father is greater than I." 

Unitarians have never believed in the Holy Spirit as 
a person, but regard it as an attribute or influence of 



214 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

God, or God himself acting on the spiritual nature of 
man. But there are other doctrines and principles to 
which Unitarians, considered as a denomination or a 
class of Christians believers, attach great importance. 
They believe especially in the fatherhood of God, that 
his government is paternal, and that his mercy and love 
2re ne"ver withheld from his children. As a conse- 
quence of this belief, while they maintain that tliere will 
be a sure and just retribution for sin, they believe iliat 
the punishment for sin which the sould suffers, both in 
this life and in the future life, is sent in love, not in 
wrath; is disciplinary in its nature, and is intended to 
purify the soul, and bring it back to holiness and hap- 
piness. 

They reject the doctrine of the vicarious atonement of 
Christ, and deny that he died to make it just and pos- 
sible for God to pardon man, by satisfying the claims oi 
the law, appeasing the divine wrath, or bearing himself 
the punishment which the sinner otherwise would suffer. 
Their theory is that Christ saves men by his truth, by 
the influence of his example and life, by generating in 
them his spirit of- faith, of love, of obedience, and of self- 
sacrifice; by bringing them to repentance, and to :iew 
and holy living. 

THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. 

Founded in the United States at Boston by Mary 
Fisher and Ann Austin, September, 1656. 

Articles of Belief. 

The source of inspiration is the Holy Spirit, who in- 
teriorly teaches us; and the Scripture is a rule given by 
and subordinate to that Spirit. An immediate inspira- 
tion is as necessary to us as to the apostles; it teaches 
us whatever is necessary to salvation. The promise 
which Christ made to his apostles, to teach them all 
truth by his Spirit, and that the Holy Ghost should al- 
ways remain with them, was not confined to the apostles 
only, it belongs to all the faithful; and it is said of them 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 215 

all, that the unction shall teach them all things; that is, 
all spiritual truth which they need. 

Friends are opposed to war, under all circumstances; 
believing it to be contrary to the spirit of Christianity. 
They also deny the propriety of all oaths, in accordance 
with Christ's command, "Swear not at all." 

THE HICKSITE FEIENDS. 

In 1827 quite a number under the leadership of Elias 
Hicks seceded from the Society of Friends, and arc 
called Hicksites. They differ from the old society re- 
lating to the divinity of Christ and the nature of 
the atonement. 

THE UNITED BEETHREIs^ 

Count Zinzendorf came to America in 1741 and 
preached at Germantown, Penn. 

The principles that they enunciated were, in brief, 
the following three: The Bible is the only source of 
Christian doctrine; pul)lic worship is to be conducted, 
and a discipline is to be administered, in accordance 
with what the Scriptures teach, and on the model of the 
Apostolic Church; the Lord's Supper is to be received 
in faith, to be- doctrinally defined in the language of 
Scripture, and every human explanation of ^that lan- 
guage is to be avoided. 

THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST. 

This denomination took its rise in the United States 
about the year 1755. 

Doctrines of the Church. 

1. . They believe in the only true God, the Father, 
Son, and Holy Ghost; that these three are one, the 
Father in the Son, the Son in the Father, and the Holy 
Ghost equal in essence or being with both. 

2. They believe in Jesus Christ, that he is very God 
and man; that he became incarnate by the Holy Ghost 



2i6 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

in the A^irgin Mary, and was born of her; that he is the 
Saviour and Mediator of the whole human race, if they, 
with full faith, accept the grace proffered in Jesus. 

3. They believe in the Holy Ghost; that he is equal 
in being with the Father and Son; and that he com- 
forts the faithful and guides them into all truth. 

4. They believe that the Holy Bible, Old and New 
Testament, is the Word of God; that it contains the 
only true way to our salvation; that every true Chris- 
tian is bound to receive it with the influence of the 
Spirit of God, as the only rule and guide; that without 
faith in Jesus Christ, true repentance, forgiveness of 
sins, and following after Christ, no one can be a true 
Christian. 

6. They believe that the fall in Adam and the re- 
demption through Jesus Christ, shall be preached 
throughout the world. 

7. They believe that the ordinances, namely Bap- 
tism and the remembrance of the sufferings and death of 
Christ, are to be in use and practiced by all Christian 
societies, but the manner of which ought always to be 
left to the judgment of every individual. The example 
of washing the saints' feet is left to the judgment of all 
to practice or not. 

The Brethren in Christ oppose Freemasonry, slavery 
in every sense of the word, and the distilling and vend- 
ing of ardent spirits, except for medical and scientific 
purposes. 

THE imiVEESALIST CHUECH. 

The doctrines of this Church were first preached in 
the United States by Dr. George De Benneville at Ger- 
mantown, Penn,, in 1741. 

In 1803 the General Convention framed a Statement 
of Faith, which has ever since stood as the basis of fel- 
lowship, known as the "Winchester Confession," 'be- 
cause adopted at Winchester, N. H. It is as follows: 

Article 1. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the 
Old and New Testaments contain a"^ revelation of the 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 217 

character of God, and of the duty, interest, and final des- 
tination of mankind. 

Article 2. We believe that there is one God, whose 
nature is Love, revealed in one Lord Jesus Christ, by 
one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore the 
whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness. 

Article 3, We believe that holiness and true happi- 
ness are inseparably connected, and that believers ought 
to be careful to maintain order and practice good works, 
for these things are good and profitable unto men. 

Universalists are a unit on these points, viz. : the au 
thenticity of the Bible; the absolute unity and universal 
Fatherhood of God; the universal brotherhood of man; 
the sonship and dependence, but none the less the infal- 
libility and Divine efficiency of Christ; the impersonal- 
ity of the Holy Spirit, but its necessity and power as 
Comforter and Sanctifier; the unescapable certainty of 
Retribution; the readiness of God to forgive sin; the 
Reality of the Atonement as the process of man's recon- 
ciliation to God through Christ; the necessity of faith, 
penitence, and the new birth as the indispensable condi- 
tions of salvation; and the certain ultimate triumph of 
Christ in the victory of good over evil, as God shall be 
'•'all in all." 

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER 
DAY SAINTS. 

This Church was organized April 6, 1830, at Fayette, 
Seneca County, New York. 

Doctrines. 

The following summary of doctrines believed in is 
from a letter by Joseph Smith, written in 1842 : 

We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His 
Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 

We believe that men will be punished for their 
own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. 

We believe that through the atonement of Christ all 
mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and or- 
dinances of the Gospel. 



2i8 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith in 
the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Bap- 
tism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, 
Laving on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 

We believe that a man must be called of God, by 
"prophecy, and by laying on of hands," by those who are 
in authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the 
ordinances thereof. 

We believe in the same organization that existed in 
the primitive church, viz: apostles, prophets, pastors, 
teachers, evangelists, etc. 

We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revela- 
tion, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. 

We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as 
it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of 
Mormon to be the word of God. 

We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does 
now reveal, and we believe that^He will yet reveal many 
great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom 
of God. 

W'e believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the 
restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built 
upon this continent. That Christ will reign personally 
upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and 
receive its paradisiac glory. 

We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God 
according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all 
men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or 
what they may. 

We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, 
rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sus- 
taining the law. 

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, 
virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may 
say that we follow the admonition of Paul, "We believe 
all things, we hope all things," we have endured many 
things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If 
there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or 
praiseworthy, we sejk after these thini]s.

THE SHAKERS. 

The Shakers or "The United Society of Believers in 
Christ's Second Appearing/' was established in the 
United States at Watervliet, New York, by Ann Lee 
and others in 1776. 

A Brief Compend of Practical Principles. 

1. Purity, in mind and body, including a virgin life, 
as exemplified and inculcated by Jesus Christ, as the' 
way that leads to God. 

2. Honesty and integrity in all their words and deal- 
ings, according to the precepts of the Saviour: "As ye 
would that men should do to you, do ye even so unto 
them." 

3. Humanity and kindness to both friend and foe, 
"Charity never faileth," "Love is the fulfilling of the 
Law," "Overcome evil with good." This rule compre- 
hends the proper conduct toward all animals. 

4. To be diligent in business, serving the Lord! All 
labor with their hands according to strength and ability; 
all are to be industrious, but not slavish. Idleness is 
the parent of want and vice. 

5. To be prudent, economical, temperate, and fru- 
gal, but not parsimonious. 

G. To keep clear of debt: owe no man anything; :;ive 
love and good-will. 

7. United and consecrated interest in all things is 
their general order, but none are required to come into 
it except voluntarliy, for this order is the result of mu- 
tual love and unity of spirit; it cannot be supported 
AA'here selfish relation of husband, wife and children ex- 
ists. This order is tlie greatest and clearest demonstra- - 
tion of practical love. "By this shall all men know that 
ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." 

8. All are suitably provided for in health, sickness, 
and old age ; all being equallv of the one "Household of 
Faith." 

Indeed, to sum it all up, to seek and practice every 



220 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

virtue, without superstition, is the leading tenet of the 
Shaker profession. "Add to your faith, virtue/' 

THE CHRISTIANS. 

This society originated in Virginia and North Caro- 
lina, Dec. 25, 1793, by seceders from the Methodist. 

General Belief. 

1. That God is the rightful arbiter of the universe, 
the source and fountain of all good. 

2. That all men have sinned and come short of the 
glory of God. 

3. That with God there is forgiveness; but that sin- 
cere repentance and reformation are indispensable to the 
forgiveness of sins. 

4. That man is constituted a free moral agent, and 
made capable of obeying the gospel. 

5. That through the agency of the Holy Spirit, souls, 
in the use of means, are converted, regenerated, and 
made new creatures. 

6. That Christ was delivered for our offences and 
raised again for our justification; that through his ex- 
ample, doctrine, death, resurrection, and intercession, 
he has made salvation possible to every one, and is the 
only Saviour of lost sinners. 

7. That Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordin- 
ances to be observed by all true believers ; and that Bap- 
tism is the immersing of the candidate in water, in the 
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
Ghost. 

8. That a life of watchfulness and prayer only will 
keep Christians from falling, enabling them to live in a 
justified state, and ultimately secure to them the crown 
of eternal life. 

9. That there will be a resurrection of both the just 
and the unjust. 

10. That God has ordained Jesus Christ judge of the 
quick and dead at the last day; and at the judgment, 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 221 

the wicked will go away into everlasting punishment, 
and the righteous into life eternal. 

THE SECOND ADVENT CHURCH. 

Founded by William Miller of Massachusetts in 1833. 
Doctrine as preached by Mr. Miller. 

1. I believe that Jesus Christ will come again to this 
earth. 

2. I believe He will come in all the glory of His 
Father. 

3. I believe He will come in the clouds of Heaven. 

4. I believe He will then receive His kingdom, which 
will be eternal. 

5. I believe the saints will then possess the kingdom 
forever. 

6. I believe at Christ's second coming the body of 
every departed saint will be raised, like Christ's glorious 
body. 

7. I believe that the righteous who are living on the 
earth when he comes will be changed from mortal to 
immortal bodies, and with them who are raised from 
the dead, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, 
and so be forever with the Lord. 

8. I believe the saints will then be presented to God, 
blameless, without spot or wrinkle, in love. 

9. I believe when Christ comes the second time, he 
will come to finish the controversy of Zion, to deliver his 
children from all bondage, to conquer their last enemy, 
and to deliver them from the power of the tempter, 
which is the devil. 

10. I believe that when Christ comes He will destroy 
the bodies of the living wicked by fire, as those of the 
old world were destroyed by water, and shut up their 
souls in the pit of woe, until their resurrection unto 
damnation. 

11. I believe, when the earth is cleansed by fire, that 
Christ and his saints will then take possession of the 



222 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

earth, and dwell therein forever. Then the kingdom 
will be given to the saints. 

12. I believe the time is appointed of God when 
these things shall be accomplished. 

13. I believe God has revealed the time. 

14. I believe many who are professors and preachers 
will never believe or know the time until it comes upon 
them. 

15. I believe the wise, they who are to shine as the 
brightness of the firmament (Dan. xii. 3), will under- 
stand the time. 

EVANGELICAL ADYENTISTS. 

This Advent Society was formed in Boston, in 185S. 
They do not believe in the final destruction of the 
wicked, but in nearly all other points they agree with 
the Advent Church. 

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 

Organized in 1844. This is another branch of the 
Advent Church. They observe the seventh dav as the 
Sabbath. 

They set no time for the second coming of Christ, 
believing that the prophecies which, in the opinion of 
other Adventists, fixed the second advent in or about 
1842, really brought the world only to the "cleansing of 
the tabernacle,^^ a period of brief but uncertain duration 
preceding the coming of Christ. 

CHRISTL\N SCIENTISTS. 

Christian Science was first proclaimed by Mary Baker 
G. Eddy in 1867, at Lynn, Mass. 

Christian Scientists have no creed as accepted term 
as doctrinal beliefs. The following important points, 
or religious tenets of Christian Science: 

First, As adherents of Truth, they take the Scrip- ' 
tures for their guide to eternal Life. 

Second, They acknowledge and adore one Supreme 
God. They acknowledge His Son, and the Holy Ghost, 
and man as the Divine image and likeness. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 223 

Third, They acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin, 
with destruction of sin, and that sin and suffering arc 
not eternal. 

Fourth, They acknowledge the atonement as the ef- 
ficacy and evidence of Divine Love, of man's unity with 
God, and the great merits of the way-shower. 

Fifth, They acknowledge the way of salvation demon- 
strated by Jesus, to be the power of Truth over all error, 
sin, sickness and death; and the resurrection of human 
faith and understanding to seize the great possibilities 
and living enigies of Divine Life. 

Sixth, They solemnly promise to strive, watch and 
pray for that mind to be in us which was also in Christ 
Jesus, to love one another, and to be meek, merciful, 
just and pure. 

THE NEW, JERUSALEM CHURCH. 

The doctrines were introduced info this country by 
means of books brought by James Glen into Philadel- 
phia in the year 1784. The first permanent church was 
formed in the city of Baltimore in 1798. 

Those who compose this body of Christians are popu- 
larly called Swedenborgians, from Emanuel Sweden- 
borg. They hold to the doctrines of the supreme di- 
vinity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the full inspiration of 
the Sacred Scriptures, and the necessity of a good life. 

As to forms of worship they prescribe none, but be- 
lieve that Baptism and the Holy Supper are Divinely 
appointed ordinances. 

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is a primary principle, 
but salvation depends not on a mere profession of be- 
lief, but upon a life of obedience to the commandments. 
The old dogma of justification by faith alone is rejected, 
and charity and good works are insisted upon as neces- 
sary. 

As to the Resurrection, Swedenborg teaches that when 
man dies he puts off the material body never to resume 
it, and rises in a spiritual body. He is then judged in an 



224 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

intermediate state^ called the world of spirits, the judg- 
ment consisting in an unrolling of his book of life, in 
which all his secret motives are written. After this, his 
state is fixed either in Heaven or hell, according to his 
lifein the world. 

THE SALVATION ARMY OF AMERICA. 

The Salvation Army of America is an incorporated 
Society under the laws of the State of N"ew York. The 
movement conducted by this Society came into legal ex- 
istence on October 24, 1884, under the name of "The 
Salvation Army." 

Doctrine. 

1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and 
New Testament were given by inspiration of God, and 
that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian 
faith and practice, 

2. We believe there is only one God, who is infinitely 
perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all 
things. 

3. We believe that there are three persons in the 
Godhead — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, un- 
divided in essence, co-equal in power and glory, and the 
only proper object of religious worship. 

4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the 
Divine and human natures are united, so that He is 
truly and properly God, and truly and properly man. 

5. We believe that our first parents were created in 
a state of innocence, but by their disobedience they lost 
their purity and happiness; and that in consequence of 
their fall, all men have become sinners, totally depraved, 
and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God, 

6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has, by His 
suffering and death, made an atonement for the whole 
world, so that whosoever will may be saved. 



IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 225 

7. We believe that repentance toward God, faith in 
our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by t!ie Holy 
Spirit, are necessary to salvation. 

8. We believe that we are justified by grace, through 
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and that he that be- 
lieveth hath the witness in himself. 

9. We believe that the Scriptures teach, that not 
only does continuance in the favor of God depend upon 
continued faith in, and obedience to, Christ, but that it 
is possible for those who have been truly converted to 
fall away and be eternally lost. ' 

10. We believe that it is the privilege of all believers 
to be 'Wholly sanctified," and that "their whole spirit 
and soul and body'' may "be preserved blameless unto 
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." That is to say, 
we believe that; after conversion there remains in the 
heart of the believer inclination to evil, or roots of bit- 
terness, which, unless overpowered by Divine grace, pro- 
duce actual sin; but that these evil tendencies can be 
entirely taken away by the Spirit of God, and the whole 
heart thus cleansed from everything contrary to the will 
of God, or entirely sanctified, will then produce the fruits 
of the Spirit only. And we believe that persons thus 
entirely sanctified, may, by the power of God, be kept 
unblamable and unreprovable before Him. 

11. We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the 
resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at 
the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the 
righteous; and in the everlasting punishment of the 
wicked. 

MODERN SPIRITUALISM. 

Robert Dale Owen declared that Spiritualism, as un- 
derstood in the United States, had its birth on March 
31, 1844, when the phenomenon of spirit-rapping mani- 
fested itself to the Fox family in Hydeviile,^^. Y. 

Spiritualism is not to be regarded as a formal sect, 
nor do its followers desire that it should become a sep- 
arate church, with prescribed creed, ordained ministers, 
and learned professors. 



226 ONE THOUSAND NOTABLE EVENTS 

Spiritualists do not believe in miracles, asserting that 
the natural law is universal, invariable, persistent, and 
that all spiritual epiphanies are natural phenomena. As 
a rule, they do not regard Christ as one of the persons in 
the Godhead. 

The mediums, or the persons through whom the com- 
muliications are made, have been divided as follows; 
rapping mediums; mediums for tipping and turning 
tables by a slight touch of the finger; for the movement 
of ponderous bodies without contact ; for the production 
of phosphorescent lights in a dark room ; for playing on 
musical instruments in a manner beyond their ordinary 
abilities; for involuntary writing, and for writing inde- 
pendent of any apparent aid from human hands; for 
the diagnosing and healing of diseases; for levitation; 
and for the materialization of spirit forms identical in 
appearance with those of deceased persons. 

Among the leading principles on which it may be said 
all intelligent spiritualists substantially agree are these: 
This is a world governed by a God of love and mercy, in 
which all things work together for the good of those 
who reverently conform to His eternal laws. In strict- 
ness there is no death. Life continues from the life 
which now is to that which is to come. The earth- 
phase of life is an essential preparation for the life which 
is to come. The phase of life which follows the death- 
change is, in the strictest sense, a supplement to that 
which precedes it. Our state here determines our initial 
state there. We do not, either by faith or works, earn 
Heaven ; nor are we sentenced, on any day of wrath, to 
hell. In the next life we simply gravitate to the posi- 
tion for which, by the life on earth, we have fitted our 
selves. There is no instantaneous chan_£^e of character 
when we pass from the present phase of life : our facul- 
ties, passions, virtues, all go over with us. In the next 
world love ranks higher than what we call wisdom, be- 
ins: itself the highest wisdom.
